A Dalit boy has been hospitalized with injuries to his head after being beaten up by his teacher in Rajasthan’s Barmer, days after a similar incident was reported in the state.
The boy, who is a student of Class 7, had left out a question during a test, following which his teacher allegedly beat him and slammed him against the wall, his brother – also a student of Class 7 at the same school – said. He was taken home with an injury to his head, unconscious. The parents then admitted him to the hospital.
The teacher, Ashok Mali, has been arrested by the police and is being questioned.
“We were conducting tests in our classes when a boy came running and said that his brother had been beaten up by their teacher and he asked me to come with him,” a teacher told India Today TV.
“I brought the boy with me, and gave him water and food. His brother brought a tablet and gave it to him. I asked him about the medicine and tried calling the family. But the call didn’t get connected. Soon, the boy went home with his brother,” she added.
